Muffins are a glorified, pseudo-healthy cupcake. There, I said it. The little handheld treats often have the same sugar content as cupcakes and some (arguably the best kind) are even glazed (like these delicious Pumpkin Crumb Muffins, for example). While I agree that these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip muffins shouldn’t be a part of your daily breakfast routine, I’m also the girl who ate goddamn Coffee Bundt Cake too many mornings in a row recently. Who the hell am I to speak on the dos and don’ts of breakfast? I’m no Jilian Michaels. The 20-odd minutes that I sporadically spend on the treadmill does nothing to counter all of the treat yo’self moments I have over the course of a day. What goes into my mouth (muffins) ends up nestling itself directly onto my hips (muffin-top). While we’re on the subject of health, isn’t peanut butter is considered a protein? Does that make these muffins healthy? (Don’t answer that.)
